Hi all,
Ive been welding now for 2 days,we are using a big lincoln machine which
does it all seperate wire feed for mig, 600 amps flat out, also a blue machine
with a big handle at the top called a snipe i think, both machines weld about
the same, we were using 6013 3.2 for the first day, now some of us are using
7018 low hi rods esab, me inc, tonight ive got home and had a go with the
lorch t220 and it welds loads better than the transformer welders that ive
been using, i think im going to use the lorch for my test piece, it is without
dought the best ive used to date, the examiner does not do the chritmas tree
method, but a weave method which seems to work well, my company wont
even buy an oven to heat the rods up, we place the rods onto what we have
just welded and that seems to do the trick, cheap skates, any way ive put
a picture of the one ive welded at home root one side, root and cap the other, then a saw cut through cheers all and thanks for the advice
